BEN K

Under the moniker “Ben K,” painter Ben Kacmarcik has developed a distinctive “street surrealism” style that explores the contradictions of human behavior and social interaction. Influenced by Basquiat, Condo, Bacon, Pollock, and hints of Twombly, he blends layered brushwork, bold color, and fragmented faces into what he calls “Chaotic Cubism,” capturing the complexity of people and their stories. His intentional, message-driven approach has drawn the attention of New York’s art community and led to commissions worldwide. Now, he continues to expand his practice into prints, shoes, murals, and clothing.
